Does anyone have any experience with hosting their website with Yahoo!?

See:
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/smallbusiness/solutions/online.html

How about using the Yahoo! Mail Personal Address offer?

See: http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/ym/vorder1?YY=65928

Apparently, Yahoo! allows you to use your own email address
(Yourname@yoursite.com) to send and receive email.
This sounds great b/c I will no longer will have to learn how to use Outlook, Groupwise, etc. and can use Yahoo to send/receive email branded with my multiple domain names instead of MyName@Yahoo.com.

Has anyone combined the two services--ie-use Yahoo! Mail Personal Address to manage your email and use yahoo! Business Solutions to Host your website?

This is all very confusing to me. Any light you guys can shed on this topic will help.

Thanks. I'm wondering....If I get my sites hosted by Yahoo! Website Services....do I still need to get the Yahoo! Personal Address Offer in order to have "branded" web-based email?

From what I can tell, Yahoo mail does offer you mail@yourdomain.com and 5 addl. addresses for $35/yr. It doesn't offer any more. You can also redirect your domain to free webspace.

Doesn't sound all that thrilling for $35

The last time I transfered a customer from yahoo hosting, their support stank, but they had a decent control panel.
